Building the Dream... Your New Elyria High School - Part 8

A Picture of Progress

EHS Aerial View: July 2009
Originally uploaded by aNewElyriaHigh

An aerial view of the new Elyria High School taken in July, 2009, shows a clear outline of the future academic wing and athletic complex. Precast concrete slabs for the second floor are being installed in the portions of the building that are under construction. Meanwhile, masonry work continues along with plumbing and electrical handiwork.

Another Brick in the Wall

Passers-by of the new Elyria High School site will notice the walls getting taller and the campus getting broader as work continues over the summer months. The attached vocational building on 5th Street that once housed special education rooms and offices is being demolished to make way for the new athletic complex. The Washington Building still stands ready to serve students this coming school year but will begin to see clean-up to the stone facade at the West peak and roofing work this summer. Heavy Masonry and concrete work continues on the new academic wing bordered by Middle Avenue, West Avenue and 7th Street.
A color committee has been assembled to plan interior brick, mortar, flooring and carpet colors. Soon the district will make decisions on loose furnishings, including student desks and tables, and technology packages.
Students will move into the new academic wing in the fall of 2010 and the entire campus is slated for completion in 2011-2012.

With the ground thaw and temperature warm up that comes with spring and summer, work on the new Elyria High School is progressing at record speeds. All below grade masonry work is complete and work continues on the masonry walls of the new athletic facility and academic wing. Here's what you can look forward to in June and July: masonry work continues on the athletic facility, academic wing and auditorium; below-slab electrical work for the auditorium, poured concrete slabs in the academic wing and auditorium, a new roof and skylight on the Washington Building; and further abatement and demolition of existing structures.
